ELLISON 7 DAY
Here’s what we know so far gang, We fished Bluefin Tuna the first day with some success on fish 30 to 90 lbs. and then made the banzai run down to the ridge for some good action today on those premium grade Yellowfin Tuna. Good start down here and we are going to give it another go tomorrow. Check out the Shasimi and Susi spread Ed and Rollo put together.Thanks for. Checking in, Jeff & the Indy crew
A GREAT DAY TODAY
Today was great fishing for those premium Yellowfin Tuna down here today and the gang had a really great time yanking and pulling till the conditions quit at noon. The rest of the day was slow but the great action from sunrise till lunch was off the hook. We are going to try our luck at some Yellowtail tomorrow, wish us luck, Jeff & crew

YELLOTAIL BONANZA
We positioned ourselves this morning for a sampling of hamachi and got way more than we bargained for. Non stop action on 18 to 25 lb Yellowtail was on the menu biting every offering. It was a great way to spend our last day of fishing and after one of Ed’s 1/2 lb. cheeseburgers everyone was ready for naps and a poker game. Choppy weather on the horizon, so slow and steady she goes. Gaining altitude all the time, Jeff & Indy crew

INDY SHOOTOUT
We left a few days ago on the Indy Shootout 10 day and got to our first destination this afternoon. Not much to report but a few Wahoo and Tuna for the day. Hopefully just an off day. We slid down starting in a different area and will give it a try tomorrow. Weather remains nice so far but we have a close eye on the storm to come. Matt and Independence crew.
GREAT DAY
Absolutely epic fishing for us today on 25-35# plus Tuna. We woke up and got right to it. We picked away at the primos all morning and went looking for Wahoo and again we were rewarded. Good action for the effort on skinnies with just about everyone putting a tag on one. Weather remains calm and we are going to keep sliding down in preparation of the storm to come. All is well and all are very happy with the days great catch. Wish us luck tomorrow. Matt and Independence crew

We had a fun day of more Yellowfin and Wahoo. School grade Yellowfin started our day off and looks like things are getting back to normal after the storm. The Wahoo we caught today were all big boys. We hope that tomorrow brings more of the same for us. Wish us luck.

GREAT VARIETY
What a great day again out here. The weather is beautiful and the fish be hitting. We had good action on Wahoo, Yellowtail, Yellowfin, and Dorado. The guys are in great spirits. We managed to get a Wahoo for everyone on the boat and they are quality fish. The Tuna fishing got hot and heavy this morning for school grade fish. We ended the day with some grande Mahi to go with our Yellowtail. All is well here and we’re headed up to try for Yellowtail tomorrow. Matt and Independence crew

GREAT FINISH
Good Yellowtailin today. We picked away throughout the day and nice grade fish 16-25 pounds. Dropped loop and the infamous yo-yo jig was the hot ticket. Lots of grinding with great results. It was a really a fun day to say the least. We are headed up the line on our way home now. What a great success for a great group of anglers. Weather continues to be nice for the ride up.
